Vibration response imaging in healthy Japanesesubjects

Although our QLD results were similar to those of a previous report, there were discrepancies between sexes for the qualitative assessments. A significantly higher number of female subjects had abnormal images as assessed by the raters. Furthermore, significantly higher asynchrony scores were observed in female subjects. The VRI variability in sex may be considered normal among the Japanese population. This study is registered with UMIN-CTR under registration number UMIN000002355.
